Regulation Adds Privacy Protections for Patient Records on Substance Use Disorders
Entities regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), including employer-sponsored health plans, have until February 16, 2026, to comply with additional privacy protections for patient records related to substance use disorder. A separate permission is required for disclosing information about a person’s substance use disorder.
